It is a move that eclipses Gareth Bale's £86m move from Tottenham Hotspur to Real Madrid in 2013, with Juventus confirming the specific figures themselves later that morning.

A statement from the Serie A club read: "Juventus Football Club announce than an agreement has been finalised with Manchester United Football Club for the definitive transfer of the registration rights of the player Paul Labile Pogba for a consideration of €105m to be paid in two financial years. The consideration may increase of €5m on achieving given conditions in the course of the duration of the contract."

The statement also adds: "The economic effect is positive for about €72.6m, a net solidarity subsidy and auxiliary expenses."

Those "auxiliary expenses" are thought to be largely made up by Raiola's fee, following numerous reports suggesting the Italian-born super-agent was set to pocket up to pocket €25m for his role in the deal.

Raiola, having accused journalists of acting like "parrots" throughout the lengthy transfer saga reacted to the move finally be confirmed on Twitter, writing: "THE MAN IS UNITED."

Pogba becomes Jose Mourinho's fourth signing at Old Trafford since taking over in June, joining Eric Bailly, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan at the club.
